Sentences with text that has been hyperlinked is being broken into multiple lines. For an example, see the last paragraph of my post here:

Has anybody else noticed that indented text doesn't show up as intended, and that the indent button removes the paragraph spacing around the indented text? For example, just after this sentence is a blank line and then the next paragraph should be indented:
This is text that I've clicked the indent button on.
And it doesn't even show up properly if you indent twice:This is text I've highlighted and clicked indent two times on.
I'm not sure why that wouldn't work properly.

What happened now? It looks partially restored to pre15, but I am still seeing two ads at the top and no side bar.

As a non-native English speaker, I've been learning the new meaning of "upgrade" and "enhancement" on FT in 2017.

Log out does not work for me.
Using the "Log out" menu item in the upper right corner drop down, sends me to a page saying "Logged out, all cookies cleared". I quit the browser. Later, I restart the browser and head directly to this link (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/usercp.php) and boom I am logged in.
Not a hick-up, I can repeat with same result.
In earlier versions, log out did actually clear the cookies, and using the direct link redirected to a log in page.

Is the extreme lag in "jump to first unread post" a design feature or a bug? I keep reporting this (and I've seen others complain about it as well), but no one acknowledges it.

If I ran a forum, changed it, and posters with a collective amount of probably >1M posts and countless years of membership all said "No"....I think I might be a bit forthcoming to changing it back to what it was, giving my head a little bit of a wobble, and then approaching it in a more proactive manner.
Just a thought if anyone from IB is reading.

I guess it was fun while it lasted? Aeroplan loses its value in 2020, Flyertalk rushed it by two years. Such pity.
To be on topic, the infinite scroll (I think that's what it is) is really jarring when trying to navigate via keyboard.

We have not been able to reproduce such lag. Are you on a public wifi service or mobile network, where data might be slower?

Logout works for me from Day One though...
You know I have never tried to logout of any forum. Just tried it and you are right. It said you are logout but you are not. Somehow the cookie still say you are login. I guess FT is like Hotel California, once you login you can never leave.
I am on desktop FT using Firefox. I don't use remember-me. Not sure if that matters.
